All 2026 Virginia Fires · 3 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Virginia. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed the border is listed with the acres that burned in Virginia, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Virginia is listed too, at its Virginia acres, and is not added to the Virginia fire counts.
